Well, I won't lie to you, the National 3peaks is tough. VERY tough. But, the harder and better you train, the easier and more pleasurable you'll find it. Like I say, if you want any advice, just PM me your questions.

As for my 2011 attempts... Well, it won't be until after August 15th when I've returned from my travels. Initially I'd hoped to join a friend who wished to do it in july but he's gone and done his knee in. He'll perhaps be able to do it September though. Besides that, I'm awaiting word from a couple of other groups who want me to do it with them.Then there's the possibility of my solo attempt. Ha. Keeps me outta mischief.

especially seeing that we have season ticket holders in the west stand myself included, yep you will have to mingle with the riff raff!

Salford will be rubbing their hands when they play us knowing alot/most of our players are not playing :O

Good luck to us !

Any chance of a 10 point head start too

HaHa so your rubbing your hands already i see



It will be very interesting to see the teams on sunday.close game maybe.

I reckon we'll compete for about 10/15 mins in either half, but lose by about 20-30, if not more.

Depends who we have out to be honest,As ratchford and holdsworth have been doing good buisness for you recently.

I wouldn,t be suprised if its a major close game that went all the way.

Well guys Mick Monaghan not selected for the Exiles.

Not expecting a win at all, just hoping for a bit of pride and a half-decent performance.

Good news that

Don't put yorselves down. We can still have a bad game every so often. We couldn't do anything right against Hull on Easter Monday.

Exactly, we won at Catalans and they havent looked back since that game.

Seeing a few star players should give our lads more confidence. Weve been on the end of a few hidings in recent years though. The Penny hat trick of tries within about 10 mins infront of our stand is one bad memory from the last few years since we beat them twice in 2006 I think.

I will be full of optimism, until we are 18-0 down after 10 mins!

Bit confusing to do so on a thread entitled "Warrington away on the 12th June."

As regards the Warrington game, is it just a £1.00 saving on tickets bought in advance?

Strangely I reckon I would rather being playing a Wire team at full strength. All this talk of us having a chance cos you've got a few players in the exiles game will only serve to give us some false hope before the inevitable defeat occurs.

True !!

Apologies if you found it confusing.

If this arrogance doesn't motivate our lads for a massive performance on Sunday I don't know what will.

I think we have a real chance, we have to keep warrington at bay by keeping them in their 20 with a good kicking game, if we stay in the arm wrestle they will get leggy before we do that for sure, dont give away silly penalities and conceeed easy yards they will come out quick try and get 20 up early so the hard work is done, weather that storm and it will be our day .

The likes of Rachford/Broughton/Anderson who had a particular good game last week will need to rase their game again as i feel warrington will taget that area of the field by running the like of king and big units like that over us in that area, we deal with that threat by getting 3 in the tackle like we did against Wille Mason at the willows and i feel we have a real good chance of coming away with the points

Yeah what's he thinking saying we "can" win.

unfortunately i cannot see any other result than a wire win but we are going to struggle we have now got 8 players in total playing the exiles match so tiredness takes its toll if we play our main forwards who are both in the england squad it depends how much they have left in the tank if they rest them and play the likes of cooper mitchell they arent as big units as mozza and gazza so we may struggle down the middle should be an interesting game to see how we cope

It makes me think that Wood's thinking were only playing Salford. How would you view it if you were playing say St George and read a similar comment from one of their players? "Well put young lads in there and can come up with a win over Warrington"

He thinks we can I don't see the problem its not like saying we will win.

Major banana skin if Smith chooses not to allow players to back up. In the past he hasnt allowed it and we will struggle with more than half the team out.

i'd say good on them for promoting the world club challenge



i know what you're saying here, but i reckon if you look at it in context, our record with putting young uns in this year is pretty good, gaz o'brien came in cold and looked awesome v cas, and we dropped rhys Evans in versus leeds and he had the game of this life.

Look at at more from the POV that our kids are good and ready to slot in the first team.
